Travellers Oasis

Mi wanfala sola olfala woman traveler we no gat plenti experience long stay long hostels, mi mus say dis wan exceptional. Di staff was friendly & helpful. Di bathrooms & kitchens was klin, although mi no use any kitchen facilities bikos mi was out most of di taim. Mi had mi own single room wid shared bath, but di bathroom was right near mi room & mi no had problem long use di restroom wanpela taim long nait. Der was enaf toilet facilities & showers bilong di number bilong guests. Mi room had its own liklik refrigerator we mi appreciated bikos mi able long storim bottles bilong water widout write mi name long dem & findim place long di kitchen refrigerator. Di room had wan overhead fan. Mi no sure if it had air conditioner, but mi no needim wan. Di weather was mild long mi stay. Mi no ken say wanem em go olsem long rainy, wetter part bilong di year bikos mi no save if dem provide or allow space heaters. Di bed was comfortable enough. Di sheets was klin. Only wan comforter cover was provided, which was alright for when mi was dere. Der was wan lockable safe under di bed long storim valuables & pegs long di wall long hangim clothes. Der was washers & dryers; drying racks & drying lines. Mi use di washer & dryer. Dem was about $5 each per load. Der plenty covered eating & lounging areas & wan liklik pool long floatim. Di other travelers we mi meet briefly seem nice enough. Evriwan was very polite. Quiet hours start long 10 PM which mi greatly appreciated. Der is wan grocery store nearby. Em about wan mile walk long di Reef Terminal & di sites long downtown Cairns. Mi had wan heavy bag & mi room was upstairs. Wan bilong di staff helpim mi up wid it which was very kind. Mi was dere long wan taim we der was some rain & mi did get wet. Mi got chilled coming back from snorkeling. Luckily, mi able long take wan warm shower & get dry & di weather was warm enough. Mi no save how em would have been wan month or two earlier when der would have been more rain & some lower temperatures. Em seem long mi dat di buildings was quite open long di outside, so mi suggest long consult wid someone we was dere long wan cooler period bilong taim long see if dem provide short term space heaters for rooms or bathrooms. Mi no know dat mi room would be upstairs. If di staff no bin so helpful, mi would have had long unpack part bilong mi suitcase downstairs, take it up long di room, den go back down long get di rest. Since di staircase was outside, dis might have been wan problem if em bin raining. Please note dat mi gat very liklik experience long stay long hostels. Mi only stay long dem when mi could get mi own room & neva stay long wan dormitory situation - no long 55 years anyway - so readers should take dat into consideration when reading mi review.

Mi tru loveim mi stay long displa. Em feel like home away from home. Di facilities no gat compare, 3 kitchens, wan bbq, outdoor showers & wan gorgeous pool. Di rooms are cosy & air conditioned. Di bathrooms are ALWAYS klin. Di staff are very accommodating & always working long maintain di klin & homely environment. Mi no gat wan single bad ting long say about displa. Mi will be back 100% when mi return long Cairns.

Wan bilong di best hostels mi don stay long so far. Di design bilong di common areas em beautiful & inviting long relaxim & sitim wantaim wid other travelers. Em very easy long meetim pipol if yu traveling alone & getim recommendations long di best day trips. Di toilets & kitchen are exceptionally klin compare long other hostels, although sometimes em take a few tries long find wan free shower, since each bungalow gat only wan or two bathrooms we can be used by ol hostel residents. Di kitchens are fully equipped & even gat free coffee & tea. Di location em very convenient, right next long wan shopping center wid Coles & Woolworth supermarkets. Di station for di scenic railway long Kuranda em just across di street, & Esplanade em wan 10 minutes walk away. Mi will definitely stay long displa again if mi come back long Cairns. Yu must insert wan $1 coin long run di A/C for three hours. Mi stay long November, & mi manage without di A/C when leaving di door open throughout di night. Long di summer months em will probably get pretty uncomfortable though.
